CHRISTIANS SEE WHAT THEY DO NOT SEE
Pastor J. C. O’Hair
In the New Testament Scriptures about ten different Greek words are translated “SEE.” Some of these words are quite different in meaning.
The Greek “EIDO” is translated “KNOW”
more than 200 times. “BLEPO” is translated “REGARD” in Matthew 22:16. This is
the Greek word four times translated “SEEN” in II Corinthians 4:18:
“While we look not at the things which are ‘SEEN’, but at the things which are not ‘SEEN’: for the things which are ‘SEEN’ are temporal; but the things which are not ‘SEEN’ are eternal.” And in I Corinthians 2:14: we learn that the natural man without the Holy Spirit, cannot receive spiritual things. Neither can he “KNOW” them, because they are spiritually “DISCERNED
In I Corinthians 13:2 “EIDO” is translated “UNDERSTAND.” There are ten different Greek words translated “UNDERSTAND.” In our daily conversations we say, “we see something,” when we mean, we understand it.”
After this study we shall see, or perceive, or understand, or know what we mean by the statement, “Christians see what they do not see,” and shall more appreciate Hebrews 11:1 and II Corinthians 5:7: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” “For we walk by faith, not by sight.”
The more faith we have the more truth we SEE. So let us pray for what God wants us to have in Ephesians 1:17 and 18. This is profound truth, the strong meat for those of full age. (Hebrews 5:14). In this prayer is a beautiful expression, “the eyes of your UNDERSTANDING.” (“DIANOIA”). This Greek word means “DEEP THOUGHT.” There is the milk of the Word for the babes in Christ or for carnal Christians. (Hebrews 5:11 to 13 - I Corinthians 3:1 to 4). Wordly wise, unregenerated men, though moral and religious cannot “KNOW” spiritual truths, which are spiritually “DISCERNED,” (“ANAKRINO”).

What is the Gospel?
Believing
Christ died, that’s HISTORY.
Believing
Christ died for YOUR sins and rose again, that’s SALVATION.
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the spel which the
preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which
also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye
have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I
also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to
the scriptures. 1. Corinthians 15:1-4
